The Landlord And His Wife

    The mother-in-law of the Wang family just walked away, just leaning on the door frame of her own house and watching the fun while nibbling on melon seeds, Mrs. Ma finally spoke, lukewarm: "My baby is not good enough, it's just that there are too many things to do. , but in the end, the mouth is very strong, look at this one by one."

    He turned to look at her: "sister-in-law, what did you say?"

    Ma Shipi spit out a melon seed shell with a smile, took two steps out and said loudly: "I said, my baby is not good enough, and there are so many things that happen all day! Don't let me say it? Why doesn't the aunt of the Wang family look for others, but always look for our family?"

     Mrs. He is not polite to the mother-in-law of the Wang family, because she is an outsider, but she can’t be too disrespectful to her sister-in-law. Her face turned pale, but she couldn't argue with her in front of the child.

    Liu Gao patted the soil on his body, then glanced at Ma and said, "It's alright, don't blame Sang and scold Huai here, who doesn't know that Mrs. Wang is a scourge, living in The next door is staring at our house all day long? You have quarreled with her a lot? You can laugh at others without your business today? My family doesn't know how to harmonize with my family," he said, turning around and going in, he said the last sentence : "It's a nest all day long!"

    Ma's face changed all of a sudden, his mouth moved a few times, but he didn't dare to speak back. Mrs. He said, "The second one's family, do you know that her second aunt went back to the door to secretly stuff something for her mother yesterday? If Mrs. Wang came to make a quarrel, doesn't she have pink eye?"

    He really can't stand her like this, she still mocked herself in front of her, and in a blink of an eye, she talked to herself like no one, as if she was a wooden man with no temperament, she could treat her whatever she wanted , they will continue to be the same!

     Mr. He didn't even look at Mrs. Ma, and called out to the upper house window: "Mother, I cleaned up the kitchen, and the willow tree also carried the chopped firewood to the kitchen, then The kitchen will be handed over to the third siblings." Then he brushed off his body, and greeted Liu Shu and Liu Lin who were still outside to return to his room.

    Liu Xuer also got up and followed into the room.

    Lao Liu's family now has three daughters-in-law. After the three daughters-in-law entered the house, Liu Gao assigned them to cook. People cook for ten days.

    Liu Xuer's mother, Mrs. He, is the second daughter-in-law. Yesterday, she was full in ten days, but since yesterday morning, the third uncle has said that the third aunt is not feeling well. Shi had no choice but to make lunch.

    Rural people generally eat two meals, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Only eat three meals during busy farming days.

    Liu Xuer entered the house and was hugged by the willow tree on the kang, she looked at He and said, "Mother! Do you think the third aunt will pretend to be sick again?!"

    He immediately gave her a sideways look: "You're fine! If you don't grow tall, you'll have a heart! A little guy who's not as tall as chopsticks, always thinking about these things?"

    Liu Xuer immediately stomped her neck and said, "Isn't that because the third aunt always pretends to be sick and lazy? The big aunt does not suffer from life and death, and the third aunt's work is all done by you!"

    Liu Lin also followed: "That's right! He said he was ill when the farming was busy, and even the third uncle didn't work for several days!"

    Although He knew that the children were telling the truth, but she couldn't allow her children to be no big or small, talking about the elders behind her back, so she sullenly said: "The elders are not about you. What should I say, do you know?! What is filial piety? According to the words passed down from the ancestors, those who do not speak filial piety will never be able to raise their heads all their lives, and everyone will look down on them! You can’t be such a person, you know?!”

    Liu Xuer still wanted to defend a few words, but seeing He's wide eyes, she could only lower her head together with Liu Lin.

    The willow tree never said a word. Seeing that her younger brother and sister were all wilted, she quickly said: "Mom, wait for Dad to come back and see what work I can find. If the little baby can do it, I will Go too, even if you can only earn a penny, it's still money! Just ask Liu Lin to watch his younger brother and sister at home."

    He shook her head: "You are only seven years old, what can you do? It's better to stay at home. If you can spare half a month, clean up the house." She said here But he thought about something and came up with something, and he muttered to himself: "I have to quickly make shoes and pants, and my toes and legs and wrists are exposed..."

    Liu Lin sneered: "Mother, you asked my brother to make shoes and pants?"

    Liu Xuer laughed out loud, Liu Shu also scratched his head with a smile, He Shi also burst into laughter, reached out and nodded on Liu Lin's forehead: "You are the only one!" .

    The willow forest and the willow tree also climbed up the kang, the willow tree tilted his head and looked at Liu Sen who was still asleep for a while, and said strangely: "I slept well today, I usually wake up early."

    "Brother, have you seen Shicheng's cows?" Liu Xuer was still thinking about this, and asked, "Do you know how much money a cow costs?"

    "I don't know... there must be a lot." Willow shook his head.

    In fact, when she asked, she already knew that a cow in modern times would cost seven or eight thousand? In this era, at least... how much money is needed, Liu Xuer doesn't know, because she still doesn't know how to convert it into silver.

    Actually, Liu Xuer, who is five years old, has never seen what the whole silver looks like. It's different from what I've seen on TV before...

    The Liu family is a very poor family, although the grandparents are very diligent, but unfortunately the family has a large population, four sons and three daughters, it is not easy to pull one by one, so don't I want to save money.

    Since the eldest of the Liu family got married, the family has become even poorer. Almost every time you marry a daughter-in-law, you have to marry a daughter-in-law to maintain the family.

    The eldest, Liu Changqi, was married to the Ma family. It doesn't hurt to do anything! Country people are not used to this kind of care about everything, so Ma's family was not easy to find when he was in her family's family, so she had to settle for the poor Liu family.

    The second eldest, Liu Changgeng, married the He family, and it was rumored that he had a bad temper and was too short-tempered when he was in her parents' home. But when it comes to this, Liu Xuer can't help laughing. She is very satisfied with this mother in her life. If the mother is not strong, how can she protect herself and her brothers and sisters? Her father, Liu Changgeng, is the second child in the family. He is neither the eldest nor the young child. The second child in the middle suffers the most.

    Besides, this is the second most contentious issue at home, and the family is not so contentious. But if you don't have a temper outside, the shrew in the village who loves to find trouble, everyone will pinch you when they see you, how can you bear it? ! Just like the mother-in-law of the Wang family who had just arrived from their neighbors.

      Delicious and lazy to the point of outrageous. It seems right now, it's been four months since I got married, and I only cooked for less than five days. It hurts here or there all day long. If I don't talk about being lazy, I have to involve Liu Changgui.

    The first half of the month was a busy time for the harvest of buckwheat. The whole family was so busy that they could shed a layer of skin. It became a small black briquettes, only the third daughter-in-law hid in the house and could not come out. Liu Gao went out to call once, pulled it off the kang, scolded and screamed and went to the ground for one day, and the next day he crawled She couldn't afford to sit on the bed anymore, she said that she shrank her waist and twisted her feet, and she couldn't move. The strong laborer named Liu Changgui served her for three days.

    When Liu Gao saw the third daughter-in-law being so lazy, her heart was cold.

    Speaking of which, who in the countryside doesn't want to marry a daughter-in-law who is capable of right and wrong? Of course Liu Gao also hoped that all his daughters-in-law would be good, willing to work outside, less right and wrong, good-natured at home, and harmonious with his sister-in-law.

    But the family is poor, although the dowry of the girl with a good reputation may not be more than other girls, but the girl with a certain bad reputation in her family's village will definitely pay less than other girls. Some. Their family is poor, and they can only marry those girls who have a little bad reputation, but it is not a big problem.

    Especially the second daughter-in-law, in addition to being a bit more temperamental, she is really a good daughter-in-law, she works diligently, and knows how to be filial to her parents. Those who suffer and endure, unless her child is involved, that explosive temper will break out.

    Although the eldest daughter-in-law is too fussy, her work is not ambiguous.

    The third daughter-in-law, Jia, is considered to be the best in this country. Does she really consider herself the life of a city lady?

    Liu Xuer was still pondering on the kang when she heard footsteps walking past the door. She immediately went over and leaned by the window to look out, and sure enough, she saw her grandmother walking towards the house of the third uncle and third aunt.

    Liu Lin also came over and said in a low voice, "Is your mother going to call the third aunt?"

    Liu Xuer nodded: "Yes, but she can't get up."

    Liu Gao walked under the window of the third child and shouted in: "The third child? Still not up? It's time for you to cook today!"

    After a while, a weak voice came from the room: "Yes, I'll go..." The end sound even trembled like a huqin, as if it was The sick one is about to die.

    A promise is a promise, but it used to be the same. After a while, he asked his man to discuss with his mother-in-law and plead for mercy.

    Liu Gao obviously didn't believe her anymore, so she reached out and patted the window twice: "Then come out quickly! Hurry up, I'll be waiting here!"
